SACRAMENTO, March 2--The follow
ing report was made tonight by the
Smith.Ray Falk Investigating Commit
tee: "There is no evidence before the
committee to show that any member of
the Assembly has been guilty of at
tempting improperly to have the posi-.
tion of any bill changed on the file. All
the members of the Assembly are ex-
cused from any such attempt. The
committee are satisfied from the evi.
dence that attempts have been made to
tamper with the files, but are not able
to show who the guilty parties are.
They are satisfied from the evidence that
Ray Falk willfully and wrongfully
attem pied to change Bill 179 ON the
file on the Sth day of February, by the
testimony of Ray Falk himself. We
think that all the clerks should be
exonerated from any charge or suspi.
cion, except Ray Falk. We think Mr..
Allen Henry should be exoneratsd from
any charge of improper conduct with
regard to Assembly Bill No. l6. We
believe that L. e. Buckeley attempted to
influence Clerk Smith to advance inn
properly Bill 295 on the file. The COM
mittee further find from the evidence
that Senator Motlitt atteseSted to infu.
ence 1smith to displace Assembly Bill l6
from its proper place on the file, but
that such change was not made.
"Resolved. That Ray Falk be and is
hereby dismissed from his position as

Gladstoue,s Opinion.

LONDON, March 2.-Gladstone writes
to the editor of the Baptist. 81 consider
there is no opportunity yet for the dis
establishment of the Welch Church.
No great political matter can be dealt
with till the Irish difficulty is settled.
An attempt by force at the postpone
ment of the Irish question would only
increase. the confusion and pressure.
The main reason why the Irish question
is 60 troublesome, obtrusive and pro.
voking is because it involves the social
order of that country. Social questions
push their claims for precedence over
others"

MOBILE, Ala, March 2.-The steamer
Gardiner is coming in slowly
afre. No news was received till this
afternoon of the fire, which was discov-
cred by Captain Stone. The clothes Of
a negro ck-hand, while he was throw
ing water on burning bale, caught fire.
Panic-stricken he ran from place to
place, setting fire to the cotton bales,
and in few moments the boat was in
flames all over. She was in mid-stream
and in Motion. The pilots were driven
from the wheel and the crew and pas
sepgers jumped overheard. Those lost
were drowned. 1t is not thought that
more than one or two were burned.
Captain Stone saved himself by swim
ming ashore. The steamer Tally was
behind the Gardiner waiting to
Tass. AS soon as the flames
broke out tho Tally lowered her
boats and they threw over bales OF seed
sacks and planks to help the people who
were jumping from the Gardiner. The
heat was so intense that the Tally did
not dare to go near the boat, but her
boats picked up a number of people.
Had it not been for the presence of the
Tally but few would have been saved.
When the fire broke out the Gardiner was
ordered to run ashore. She backed and
the bells were rung for going ahead, but
the engineers were driven from their
post by the flames and the boat drifted
into the woods on the opposite side from
the place where there was practical
landing. The pilot, w. H. Wilson. re-
NAMED in the pllot.house until he found
tina. his Signals were not obeyed
and that the flames were licking
the sides of the pilot house, when he
fed for his life. The report of the loss
of life is orfirmed. The colored cabin
boy of the Tally, named Barber. per.
formed heroic deed in saving five lifes,
which he did by swimming ashore with
those in the water. The screams OF
those OH the boat were heartrending.
Mrs. w. T. Rsmbert threw one child in
the water, her husband taking the other
two; then she jumped in. All but her
husband were lost. Miss Julia Rembert
was also on board, but was saved from
drowning. She is at Demopolis. and is
in precarious condition. The boat,
which was not insured, is valued at $12 +.
600. The cotton was insured for $23,.
600.

CORNER RULE.
A Margin Price Fixed ON Chicago
Pork.

CHICAGO, March "a deal in May
pork on the Board of Trade resulted to.
day in an appeal to 'corner rule" This
is a demand that the Directors of the
Board meet and fix margin price
for the articles in question. Tonight
the Directors decided that prices should
be named. This was Immediately
done, and the value declared
to be SIS. Tomorrow bears

commission houses which are long

that the deal is apparently in the hands
of strong man, Onlya couple of these
appeals have ever been made, and they
were without effect at the corner.

HOME RULE.
The Only Way Out of the Irish
Question.

NueStl0ns
LONDON, March 2.-The Conservative
movement with the object of forcing the
Government to deal with Ireland imme.
diately, is assuming a critical phase. A
number of Liberal Unionists and Con-
servatives, that is about $50 Government
supporters, intimated to the whips their
Willingness to assist in finishing the
closure debate, curtailing discussions on
supply by protracted sittings continu-
ing all night, if necessary. A
Cabinet council convoked for to-.
day was postponed by Lord Sails
bury an hour before the time fixed
for the meeting, in order to enable him
to have separate consultations with the
Ministers to try to reconciliate their
differences on the extent to which coer-
cion shall be carried on in Ireland. The
Cabinet meeting will be held tomorrow.
Viscount Lymington has written letter
which reflected the feeling of the Liberal
Unionists, protesting that the Govern
ment's want of action, nerve and courage
is paralyzing their treatment of the
Irish question and taking day by day all
heart and principle out of the Unionist
cause. He declares that the vast ma.
| ior1ty of Liberal Unionists are ready to
accord the Government whatever strong
measures may be necessary. but that it
is insufferable from any point of view
of the Irish Nationalist that a
Loyalist Government should be per-
mitted to exist which, while
refusing Ireland the power to govern
itself, refuses to govern Ireland. After
denouncing the half-hearted petifogging
mea sures, the prostitution of constitu.
tional forms, (such as jury packing and
the policy of tumbling lawyers and con-
fused ofiicials.) he concludes: can
irresolute government is impossible; the
only alternative is Home Rule"
